Pocket carry gun recommendations.

Looking for suggestions and opinions on different pocket carry options. My current carry line-up consists of a G19 and a Ruger LCR, the LCR is almost pocketable with the boot grip installed but not really ideal for pocket carry.

I'm looking for any other suggestions than what I have already come up with, .380 or 9mm, preferably, would like opinions of people who currently or have owned these guns, would also like to keep the real-world price of the gun under $350 after tax.

What I am currently looking at are:

Kel-Tec P3AT
Ruger LCP
I.O. Hellcat II
Diamondback DB9

Would really appreciate other suggestions, size is one of my biggest limiting factors. I have tried guns like the PF9 and LC9 before and found they were just too big to use as a pocket gun.

The police are not there to protect you from crime, they are there to arrest the guy after the crime has been committed, assuming they find him. It is your responsibility to protect yourself and your family.

I have carried a Colt 380 Government Pocket Lite. (Think a shrunk down 1911)
But since it's not a DOA I replaced it with the Ruger 9 mm.
I have other handguns for daily carry but the LC9 is my avorite when I don't have a jacket to hide the 40 mm S&W I usually carry in a sob, left hand draw holster I have.

I like the LC9 because it has a manual safety, but is a DOA so I am comfortable keeping one in the pipe at all times.
I've practiced drawing it out and releasing the safety before I put my finger in the bang hole.
It's small enough I can conceal it fairly well with my big hand, but yet have enough firepower to retire a couple o BaD Guys if I need to.

The Laser is nice because it's on the side of the weapon and doen't make any big bulges in the outline.
And with it I can draw funny faces on the paper targets at the range. That's always fun!
But I like the laser because I can conceal it with my trigger finger so as not to give away my position until I'm ready to put my on the trigger.

yeah, it would be much more economical to have the pockets deepened on nearly 20 pairs of shorts and pants, and every other pair of shorts and pants I buy in the future, than just buy a gun that will easily fit in a front pocket...
